Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

The clerk pointed to a place downstairs: "Grand Xu, that's the one who just entered the venue over there."

I got up from my seat, walked to the armchair by the railing and sat down, trying to get a good look at Huo Xiangu.It's a pity that they are a little far away from us. I can only vaguely see that they are an old lady in a classical cheongsam surrounded by people.I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement or something special, but Xiangu Huo happened to be placed opposite us on the second floor, and when she sat near the railing, I found myself directly opposite her, looking at her from afar.

She seemed very surprised that there was a little girl sitting on the fence opposite her, and her gaze stayed on me for a moment.This sight made the people around her also curious, and they all looked towards us.One of the girls was as white as snow, and she was very beautiful. Even if I was far away from her, I could still see a kind of aura emanating from her body, which was very prominent among the people around me.

She seemed to notice that I was looking at her too, and gave me a sweet smile.I responded with my eldest brother's casual Liang family nodding greeting.For strangers, those surnamed Liang seem to be instinctively defensive, which is probably a family inheritance.

On the opposite side, someone erected a jade screen with the same style as ours to block the fence.It seems that the Huo family also need some privacy.

My grandfather and Xue Er looked at each other and smiled, as if they had completed some kind of mysterious communication.I don't know what the two old men are thinking.

While the two sides were inquiring and looking at each other, a plate of cold dishes had been brought up one after another. These dishes were very beautifully made, and each dish would be served with a waiter introducing the characteristics of the recipe in two or three simple sentences.After a while the whole table was full.

"Come on, little one, have something to eat first."

My grandfather was still smiling, and gave me a drunk shrimp.

I have never been polite to him, just put it in my mouth and eat it.Speaking of which, I have never been reserved in front of my grandpa since I was a child, and I have a better appetite than ordinary children, so I always eat from before meals to after meals, and my grandpa seems to like to pick up food for me, saying that my food resembles mine. Mom was very cute when she was young.

Just when I hadn't eaten a few chopsticks, there was a knock on the door.Old Xue said casually, "Let him in."

I was a little surprised to see that the person who came in was the one who came in with Huo Xiangu before, and he was wearing a well-crafted dark blue suit, walked to my grandfather respectfully, took out a name card, and said that he was from the Huo family Who, his owner, Huo Xiangu, has something important to ask, so he asked my grandfather to show his face after the auction and stay for a while before drinking tea.

"If it was 20 years ago, the mistress of the Huo family invited me for something, I would dare not." Mr. Xu said with a smile, "It's just that I'm old now, and although I have the heart, I don't have the muscles, so I'm here today to join in the fun. Go back to rest. I will invite our family Zhonglin to visit another day. Come on, little girl, eat some more meat, look at how skinny you are, if someone sees you, they will say that I have treated my granddaughter badly."

This person was repeatedly beaten by my grandfather and Xue Er, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only leave helplessly.

There are countless small question marks in my heart. You said that he came to the door by himself and happened to ask for something. Why don't we take this opportunity to ask about Qilin's exhaustion, maybe we can get it by auction?There are so many people entering the box one after another here, and the downstairs is also quietly filled with people, the auction situation is very serious!

Mr. Xu, what are you always planning?

I was looking for an opportunity to ask him how much he planned to spend on this unicorn, when there was another knock on the door.Old Xue still used the same tone to call people in, but I saw that it was from the Huo family again. This time it seemed that his rank had risen a bit. He declared his identity, and then he said the same thing, asking my grandfather to stay for a while.

Xu Zhanggong continued to perfunctory with a good temper: "Okay, okay. Zhonglin, remember to prepare well and go in a few days." Xu Zhonglin nodded seriously, smiled at that person, and then all the Xu family members continued Focus on eating.

Faced with the silence, the man really had no choice but to go back obediently.I thought that the people of the Huo family don't seem to be too sloppy. If it were Boss Liang, he would definitely send more than a dozen people to sit in a row in front of you. If you eat, he will eat with you. If you get angry, he will continue to smile. I'm going to lie to you.My brother said, this person, if you become shameless, no one can do anything to you.

Of course, it's too ugly to see such a scene like this.The Liang family's way of doing things is indeed evil.

It's rare for me to be tall for the last time, and I have to carry it out to the end no matter what I say today.

After the man left, I asked my grandfather: "Mr. Xu, do you think there will be people coming later? It seems that it is not good for you to reject people like this. Aren't we going to shoot some Qilinji? I heard that Qilinji is Huo Xiangu Take it out, don't we need to get close to others?"

Mr. Xu glanced at me, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he laughed, his eyes narrowed into a line, he was even more fox than a fox.

"Who said I'm here to shoot the unicorns today?"

I was stunned: "Ah? This, doesn't this mean that you will come to the auction?"

"I'm here to participate, but who said it has to be filmed."

"But but... I thought..."

At this time, Manager Xiao Yang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "There is no unicorn in the lot."

"What!" I shook my hand and the braised pork fell on the table.

My grandfather took a paper towel and wiped the juice splashed on the table: "Eat well, don't waste food."

I flipped through the auction brochure and found that there were two lots in total, one was a simple jade seal, and the other had Qilin Jie clearly written on it: "Why is there no Qilin Jie? It's clearly printed on it. "

Xue Er took a peanut and put it in his mouth: "Originally, there was, but who made Liang Youdao startle the snake, and sent someone to ask for a price to eat the unicorn in advance, so that Huo Xiangu could smell the enemy, but he simply refused to eat it. I didn’t even take it out to shoot.”

Fuck...

When I was speechless, Director Xiao Yang continued to explain in a gloomy tone with dark circles under his eyes: "Originally, there must be a certain time limit for withdrawing the auction. After the time limit, it cannot be withdrawn, otherwise it will have to bear high The fine, I didn't expect this mother-in-law of the Huo family to insist on withdrawing it at all costs. I didn't even have time to change the auction manual. It is said that this is the first time in the Crescent Hotel. It seems that Granny Huo has an unusual relationship with the owner of the restaurant. In addition, this Liangzi It's really deep."

Mr. Xu chuckled, while the corners of my mouth twitched.

How could Grandpa Xu not be clear about this kind of old imperial calendar, alas...

Manager Xiao Yang continued: "One more thing, the manual given to Wu Xie by Third Young Master Xu (Xu Jihai) should be exactly the same as the one in your hand. I got the news the day before yesterday, and I haven't had time to inform him yet. But all the manuals received today Anyone who received the invitation letter should have been notified."

I foolishly asked: "Then Wu Xie and the others didn't come here for nothing?"

"How could it be in vain?" Xue Er chewed the peanuts, "Won't someone who is smarter think of other ways? Anyway, Mrs. Huo is also here, and Wu Xie, who has legs and a mouth, won't go find her by himself?"

That's what I said, but how do you ask Wu Xie to ask her, it seems that no matter how you ask, it will involve the sensitive issue of the Liang family.It would be good not to be blasted out by then.

I continued to ask without giving up: "In that case, grandpa, your coming today...wouldn't it be a waste of time?" My grandpa would be fooled by someone?This kind of thing is beyond my imagination!

"How come? Who are your grandfather and Second Uncle Xue." Old Xue looked at the van opposite with a sneer, "As long as the things are still there, I will have a way for your Second Uncle to deliver them."

I asked curiously, "How can I get her to send it out?"

Just as the voice fell, there was another knock on the door.

This time, the one who came in was actually the girl who was looking at me from afar just now.She walked up to all of us generously, saluted my grandfather, and called out sweetly: "Hello, Eunuch Xu, I am Huo Xiuxiu, the granddaughter of Grandma Huo from the Huo family."

When I got closer, I realized that this girl was a few years younger than me. She wore a jade hairpin on her head. She looked very pure and had a temperament like jade. She belonged to that kind of sweet girl.While observing her, I thought to myself: It seems that Mrs. Huo attaches great importance to her granddaughter, and finally made her finale appearance. I don't know if she will get on the horse herself after being rejected.But Miss Huo called Xiangu Huo grandma, could it be that she is from the same family as the Xu family, and the Huo family is the son-in-law?No, my dad can't be counted as a son-in-law, it's just that the Xu and Liang families don't get along...

While thinking wildly, I heard Xue Er, a joking old man, say: "Wait a minute, who is your Eunuch Xu? You should recognize it first, and don't yell at the wrong person."

After hearing what Old Xue said, Huo Xiuxiu smiled, and stared at me with watery eyes that were astonishingly charming.

"This elder sister looks like the eldest lady of the Xu family, so she is naturally sitting next to the elders, so the person next to her must be Mr. Xu Dazhangyan." She owed my grandfather respectfully again. I owe my body.Then she said to Xue Er, "My grandma said that the only one who can sit side by side with Mr. Xu is the shopkeeper Xue Er, so you must be the shopkeeper Xue Er." Her eyes fell on the gloomy Xiao Yang again: "Can you sit at the main table?" And with such a young age, if it wasn’t Young Master Xu, then it must be Chief Manager Yang. I guess Young Master Xu is the one sitting next to my sister. So the person sitting next to shopkeeper Xue Er must be Chief Manager Yang.”

Oh yo, it's amazing, it hits all of them.

I couldn't help but look at her with admiration, and even my grandfather stopped his chopsticks with great interest.

Old Xue waved his hand: "Awei, bring a stool for the little girl."

Huo Xiuxiu waved her hand and said, "I'll just send a message to my grandma, so I won't bother Brother Awei. My grandma would like to invite Eunuch Xu to stay for a while after the auction. I don't know if I have the honor to make tea for you, Eunuch Xu." "Her tone is soft and lively, and she is very beautiful, a pink dress outlines a graceful figure, and her gestures are very pleasing to the heart.

This time it was Manager Xiao Yang who answered: "Miss Huo, Mr. Xu has something to do at night, so he won't drink tea. If Granny Huo is convenient, I will visit tomorrow."

Huo Xiuxiu seemed to have expected this kind of rhetoric, and immediately said: "My grandma said, if Master Xu really has something to do tonight, we can visit another day. I wonder how many days will you stay in Beijing, Mr. Xu?"

It was Xiao Yang who answered: "Miss Huo, this is really unfortunate. Our shopkeeper came to Beijing originally to take a picture of something. If he wins the picture, he will probably stay a few days longer to go through the formalities, but this time the item will be withdrawn. Alright, after reading it today, I will catch the high-speed train back tomorrow. I won’t stay long.”

"I understand." The smile on Huo Xiuxiu's face did not change, she was still respectful, "Grandpa Xu, I won't disturb your dinner, but I will tell my grandma about this lot. You made this trip for nothing."

When Huo Xiuxiu left, I couldn't help asking my grandfather: "Wow, Mr. Xu, are they really going to send us the unicorn?"

When I saw my grandfather, I smiled and said nothing, and turned to ask Lao Xue: "Second Uncle Xue, what's going on? Why does the Huo family insist on seeing Grandpa so much?"

"If you insist on seeing him, you must be asking your grandfather." Old man Xue waved at me and said in a low voice, "Your manager Yang has worked hard to get your grandfather a treasure that Mrs. Huo even dreamed of. .”

"What treasure is it? It's so mysterious." I also lowered my voice.

Xue Er chuckled: "Just ask Xiao Yang."

I took a look at Mr. Yang, who had dark circles under his eyes, and saw that this man was surrounded by a strong magnetic field of resentment, which made me retreat immediately.

In any case, it was Grandpa who got something that Mrs. Huo really wanted, and it looked like he was going to trade her for a unicorn.

"Since this is the case, isn't it difficult to get Grandma Huo's unicorn?" I asked my grandfather.

Grandpa picked up chopsticks and spare ribs for me, then smiled at me: "So we don't have to do anything today, just take a look."

"Then does Wu Xie know about this?"

"Let him know what to do." Xue Er chirped at the side, "If he knows, we'll have nothing to do today."

what? !

"But Second Uncle Xue, what do you want him to do with nothing to shoot today?"

Grandpa scooped me a spoonful of tofu: "Didn't your Second Uncle Xue say that he has legs and a mouth? Since the mistress of the Huo family is here, let's see how he behaves tonight."

As soon as the words were finished, Ah Wei approached Grandpa again, this time not as calm as the previous few times, and his expression was a bit weird.

Xue Er asked: "Why, who is this time?"

Ah Wei thought for a while before saying, "Grand Xu...an acquaintance came over."

My grandfather gave a "oh" and said, "Tell me, which embarrassing person is it?"

Ah Wei glanced at me before hesitatingly said: "Master Liang is here, and brought along... a lot of people."

Just when I opened my eyes wide, I heard a loud voice coming from under the fence.

"Old Xu! So you're here, it's really early, I was looking for you!"

Seeing my grandfather's smile falter, Xue Er snorted coldly, and Director Xiao Yang moved his body uneasily.

I was so excited that I quickly poked my head out, only to see a group of people standing darkly on the edge of the stage on the ground floor, all of them were in suits and shirts, and none of them had a female companion. Holding a cane with an ivory handle, he was smiling at my grandfather.Seeing me poking my head out, he waved at me, then turned his head and shouted to us: "Miss Huo San, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here, let's talk about the past later, I will see you first In-laws and granddaughter go!"

After that, he smiled and led the crowd up the stairs swaggeringly, regardless of how the hotel managers around him blocked him, and walked straight to our side.

Damn, I said that the Liang family's awesome style will not waver anywhere.

There is no invitation letter, no one to recommend, so what if he is not welcomed by everyone, Liang Youdao dares to bring everyone to kill him as long as he wants to come.I saw that this momentum is really incredible, a veritable momentum of kicking the pavilion, no wonder the hotel's security has been dispatched.Not only most of the figures from Liang came over, but also my uncles and Laoqian and their hall masters.A group of men, most of them are tall, wearing black suits, all of them walk with wind, and those passing by can't wait to stand aside for fear of blocking their way. Fucking amazing.

As soon as I saw my grandfather's expression, I knew that he must not have expected old man Liang to be so open.Not only did he come in so swaggeringly, but he directly reported the names of his in-laws and enemies when he came up, and came straight at him after identifying the head, and told everyone——I am here, and I will not wait for you to come looking for him I, Lao Tzu, I personally came up to find you!

Alas, what I said earlier, it seems that this lofty style can't go to the end.

The grievances between old man Liang and old man Xu have a new chapter today.

The author has something to say:

Haha, the in-laws are all here, and the third master is missing!
